What's a super moon?

in short, Super Moon day is the full moon day, when the moon is closest to earth. Actually the moon is at an average distance of 400,000 km from earth. But in March 19, 2011 Moon will be closest to earth, that is at a distance of 356,577 kilometers. Some astrological scientists think that in Super Moon day some serious disasters like the cyclical tides in the ocean, earthquakes and storms will occur in earth. Western Astrologer Richard Nolle suggests that Super Moon day on March 19, 2011 will cause maximum disaster to earth. He termed Super Moon day on March 19 as "Extreme Supermoon Day". But majority of the scientists does not agree with Nolle because there is no scientific reason behind this.
